College Admissions

In my college process I was accepted to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Duke, and Stanford. I was accepted Early Admission (EA) to Princeton, and received early notification of admission to Harvard, Stanford, and Duke, which are usually reserved for the top 1% of applicants in the regular decision pool. Additionally, I was named a Gates Scholar. Due to this experience, I have an intimate understanding of the college admissions process and can coach end to end, providing guidance for all application components, test prep, essays, interviews, and school selection. Additionally, I have mentored multiple students who have gained admission to similar schools.

Welcome to my profile! I’m an almost-3x Stanford graduate who is passionate about helping students recognize what makes them special and tell their stories in a way that feels both authentic and compelling. I’m originally from Zimbabwe and first came to the U.S. on a full-ride undergraduate scholarship to Stanford. As a Stanford undergrad, I served as a Resident Assistant and Student Programs Assistant at the Center for African Studies, published research in women’s health, and was deeply involved in the social impact community. I later returned to Stanford for my MBA and MA in Education, where I served as an Arbuckle Leadership Fellow coaching first-year MBA students and as an instructor for a Stanford leadership course. Over the years, I’ve coached 10+ students through the college application process, including five who went on to attend top U.S. universities with scholarships. I particularly enjoy helping students figure out how to turn the experiences, interests, and ambitions they already have into an application with a clear and memorable story. I care about this work because I benefited enormously from people who helped me see my own potential and taught me how to tell my story. I come from a culture where self-promotion doesn’t always come naturally, so learning to advocate for myself was a skill I had to develop. I’m especially excited to help students who may similarly struggle to recognize just how much they have to offer, or how to communicate it confidently. Whether you’re looking for help developing your overall application strategy, brainstorming and refining essays, preparing for interviews, or simply figuring out what makes your story stand out, I’d love to work with you. My goal is not to turn you into the applicant you think colleges want, but to help you present the strongest, clearest, and most authentic version of who you already are.

I have successfully coached several students in the past to strengthen their college applications to gain admission to top schools.

I have over 10 years of experience coaching students. I specialize in crafting compelling personal statements that are authentic and distinctively impressive - I’ve successfully helped clients gain admission to prestigious universities such as Oxbridge, LSE, UCL, Kings, Imperial, Warwick, and Manchester. Having received multiple offers and studied at Cambridge, as well as sending dozens of clients to the top UK schools, I know what compels the admission committee to say yes, and also how to bridge that gap given where an applicant is currently at.

I’m currently pursuing my MBA at The Wharton School. Previously, I was both a Consultant and Chief of Staff to the CEO at McKinsey & Company. Having navigated both MBB recruiting and the MBA application process—and leveraged Leland myself—I know firsthand how daunting these journeys can be and how valuable the right coach can be along the way.
